Liver damage

Unlike other organs in the body, the liver is capable of regenerating up to half of the liver in 30 days, if there aren't any other concerning issues in one's health. If other issues are present, the liver may begin to scar, or the regeneration becomes incomplete. Scarring in the liver is very dangerous and may lead to a rise in complications and liver disease. The complications increase when the initial cause is still present. Liver damage can be caused by viruses, alcohol medication, etc.

Acetaminophen (in many over-the-counter medications),  is the most common drug that can cause liver damage if not taken in the recommended dose. For liver transplant patients the most frequent cause was acetaminophen overdose.
